Chauvet cave, mammoth and horses , Ardeche Valley France, 30,000 B.C, was not able to find purpose, it could be the first mammoth ever seen it has extreme detail and it looks so different from what has already been recorded. No. 5. Lion Panel, Chauvet Cave, Ardeche Valley France, 30,000 B.C, I was not able to find the purpose however, I think this is something someone saw and they wanted it to be recorded for someone else to see, perhaps as a warning for the next person who saw this.

No. 6. Panther/ hyena panal, Chauvet Cave in Ardeche Valley France, 30,000 B.C, I couldn’t find the purpose but based on the way the hyena is positioned with an arched back it looks like the hyena is getting ready to attack the panther.

No. 8. Lascaux Cave Running bulls, Chinese horses. Lauscaux, Dordogne France 15,000-10,000 BC, I couldn’t find the purpose but I think due to the over lapping of horses could show how much horse’s where significant to the people, as they were used for transport and many other things.

No. 12. Ggantiga temple, Malta, Gozo Malta, 3,000 BC, the purpose is religion and spirituality are represented through a religious building with a priesthood and ceremonial services or a church. No. 13. Mother Goddess Malta, Tarexian Malta, 2500 BC, I did not find the purpose but I think this is possibly representing fertility due to the thick thighs. No. 14. Menhirs, Brittany, Brittany France, 4000 BC, I think the purpose is a venue for gatherings, or a calendar that is in line with the events happening along with astronomical observations. No. 15. Stonehenge. Salisbury Plain England, 2800-1500 BC, used as a burial ground and said to predict the changing of the seasons for agricultural and religious reasons, or like my son thinks that it’s a landing area for aliens.
